Definitions

  • the present invention relates to coloured glasses, in particular (fluoro)phosphate glasses which are coloured blue for use as filter glasses, the use of such coloured glasses as filter glasses and a process for producing the glasses.
  • the glasses of the invention can be used as optical band-pass filters, i.e. as filters having a more or less narrow wavelength range of high transmission (“transmission range” or “passband”) surrounded by two “barrier ranges” having very low transmission.
  • Such glasses are used as optical glass filters, for example as colour correction filters in video cameras and digital cameras.
  • Further fields of application are filters for blocking the NIR radiation of LEDs, e.g. in displays etc.
  • a “steep edge” in the adjoining UV and a very low transmission above 700 nm are typical of the glasses of the invention.
  • NIR-blocking filters are also used in aviation/navigation, so that a certain colour position trueness is necessary in the case of high blocking (e.g. colour position white or green). While the UV range should preferably be completely blocked, for example to avoid damage to sensitive electronic arrangements by the high-energy radiation, the intensity of the incident radiation in the range above 700 nm should be attenuated, so that, for example when used in cameras, the red cast in the photograph caused by the CCD (charge-coupled device) sensor is compensated. This requires, for example, transmission values in the NIR of from about 10 ⁇ 5 to about 10 ⁇ 20 or about 10 ⁇ 22 at a fixed filter thickness.
  • (Fluoro)phosphate glasses are known in principle from the prior art for use as filter glasses.
  • these glasses have the disadvantage that they have poor weathering resistance and they are difficult to produce as a result of the often very high fluorine content because fluorine itself and the fluorides of many glass components are volatile under the conditions of conventional production processes.
  • Many attempts have therefore been made to optimize the compositions of (fluoro)phosphate glasses with the objective of obtaining glasses which firstly have good stability and secondly can be obtained via economical production processes.
  • the object can be achieved, in particular, by coloured glasses having the following composition (in % by weight, based on oxide, unless indicated otherwise):
  • a coloured glass which comprises the following composition (in % by weight based on oxide):
  • a coloured glass which comprises the following composition (in % by weight based on oxide):
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 show the transmission curve of a glass according to the invention as per illustrative glass 17 .
  • Colour filter glasses for the above-described applications are, in contrast to other glasses, often characterized in terms of specific transmission properties, e.g. T 50 and blocking.
  • T 50 specific transmission properties
  • FIG. 1 the term blocking is used to refer to the minimal transmission in the NIR range
  • FIG. 2 shows the T 50 value, i.e. the wavelength at which the transmission in the near IR (NIR) range is exactly 50%.
  • NIR near IR
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 show chromaticity diagrams CIE 1976, in particular a comparison of Examples 50 (Co-containing glass) and 51 (Co-free glass) comprising basically the same composition, with and without CoO.
  • the glasses of the invention appear blue, blue-green, turquoise or cyan and are used, for example, as IR cut filters.
  • the colours are subsidiary. Rather, it is the filter characteristics due to the absorption in the UV up to about 320 nm and in the near IR at about 850 nm brought about by the addition of the colour-imparting oxide CuO which is critical for use as filter in front of the sensor of digital cameras.
  • the UV blocking is caused by the base glass itself and also CuO and can optionally be reinforced by addition of CeO 2 .
  • the degree of P 5+ -crosslinking of phosphate glasses describes the extent of crosslinking of the phosphorus atoms in the glass.
  • each P 5+ can be crosslinked by at most three oxygen atoms which can in turn form bonds via a further valence to the next phosphorus atom, i.e. contribute to the network.
  • the fourth oxygen in the PO 4 tetrahedron is, due to the pentavalency of phosphorus, double-bonded to the phosphorus atom, so this oxygen cannot form a bond to other partners and thus not contribute to the network.
  • the degree of crosslinking is 100%. A person skilled in the art will know of these circumstances.
  • the degree of crosslinking of the glasses can be set to a value of at least 45%, particularly at least 65%, more particularly at least 68%, and according to specific embodiments at least 72%.
  • the degree of crosslinking preferably is at most 90%, more preferably to at most 88%. This is effected, firstly, by selection of suitable components, and secondly also by possible introduction of oxygen, preferably oxygen having a purity of at least 99%, into the glass melt.
  • This “bubbling” step makes it possible to adjust the redox ratio of the glass components to the side of higher valences, which has, inter alia, an advantageous effect on the filter characteristics.
  • a side effect of bubbling is that a proportion of the fluorine is driven off from the glass.
  • the glass of the invention can, in particular, be produced by a process in which oxygen is bubbled into the melt in a batch melt, for example a crucible melt, for a time of from 10 to 40 minutes, preferably from 10 to 30 minutes.
  • a continuous melt for example a tank melt
  • bubbling is preferably also carried out continuously and preferably in the melting region of the tank. This bubbling should be carried out at temperatures above 900° C., preferably even above 925° C. and more preferably above 1000° C., with a temperature of 1200° C. preferably not being exceeded and in particularly preferred embodiments a temperature of at most 1100° C.
  • the flow rate of the oxygen in the case of, for example, a 30 litre crucible is preferably at least 40 l/h, more preferably at least 50 l/h, and also preferably at most 80 l/h and more preferably at most 70 l/h. If these parameters are adhered to, a glass according to the invention is obtained in the composition ranges indicated below.
  • the production process described here is part of the present invention, like the glass which can be produced by the process.
  • a particular molar ratio of phosphorus to oxygen has to prevail in the glasses.

  • This molar ratio is also preferably at most 0.40, more preferably at most 0.35, most preferably 0.31. If the molar ratio is, in connection with the concept of the filter glasses of the invention, set appropriately, a degree of crosslinking according to the invention can be achieved in the glass.
  • the degree of crosslinking can be determined by means of 31 P-NMR analyses, in particular in a MAS (magic angle spinning) analysis. This measurement method is known to those skilled in the art.

  • the glass of the invention can contain fluorine in a proportion of at most 20% by weight, preferably less than 15% by weight and according to particular embodiments less than 10% by weight, preferably at most 7% by weight or even at most 5% by weight. Preferred embodiments of the glass contain fluorine in a proportion of at least 1% by weight.
  • the glass contains at least 1 anion-% and/or less than 20 anion-%, preferably at most 10 anion-%, according to one embodiment only at most 5 anion-%, of F ⁇ .

  • the glass contains more than 7% by weight, preferably at least 10% by weight, of CuO.
  • the glass contains from 1 to 7% by weight of CuO. If copper oxide is used in amounts which are too low, the colour-imparting effect is insufficient for the purposes of the present invention. If a content of copper oxide which is too high is selected, the transmission of the glass is adversely affected.
  • Coloured glasses comprise cerium oxide (CeO 2 ) in amounts of at least 0.01% by weight, preferably at least 0.02% by weight, and less than 1% by weight, preferably at most 0.8% by weight, more preferably at most 0.6% by weight, most preferably at most 0.5% by weight.

  • excessively large amounts of these oxides impair the stability of the glasses and increase the coefficient of expansion of the glass. If the latter is particularly high, the glass can no longer be optimally cold worked subsequently. Furthermore, the heat resistance and annealing of the glass in the cooling furnace is made more difficult.

  • Glasses according to the invention preferably contain at least two representatives of the group consisting of the alkali metal oxides lithium oxide, potassium oxide and sodium oxide. It has been found to be advantageous to combine the alkali metal oxides sodium oxide and potassium oxide because this combination has a stabilizing effect in the sense of a mixed alkali effect on the glass.
  • the glasses of the invention can also comprise sodium oxide in amounts of at least 0.01% by weight, preferably at least 1% by weight and more preferably at least 2% by weight.

  • the glass of the invention can comprise lithium oxide in amounts of at least 0.05% by weight, more preferably 1% by weight.
  • the content of this component should preferably not be above at most 12% by weight, because it has too great a tendency to vaporize, in particular when it is used together with relatively large amounts of fluoride.

  • the glass can be subjected to a temperature of 85° C. and a relative atmospheric humidity of 85% for at least 400 hours, preferably at least 500 hours without the transmission properties being impaired by clouding of the surface.
  • the glasses of the invention preferably have a Knoop hardness of at least 350, more preferably at least 400.
  • a filter comprising the glass of the invention preferably has at least one coating on at least one side.
  • This is preferably an antireflection (AR) and/or UV/IR cut coating.
  • AR antireflection
  • UV/IR cut coating These layers reduce reflections and increase the transmission or reinforce IR blocking and make the absorption edge at about 650 nm steeper. These layers are interference layers.
  • the glass has from 4 to 10 of these layers on at least one side.
  • These layers preferably consist of hard metal oxides such as, in particular, SiO 2 , Ta 2 O 3 , TiO 2 or Al 2 O 3 . These layers are preferably applied to various sides of the filter glass. Such coatings also increase the weathering resistance further.
  • a further aspect of the present invention is the process for producing the glasses according to the invention. If the steps described below are followed, the claimed glasses having the preferred degree of crosslinking can be obtained.
  • complex phosphate is preferably added as raw material to the mix.
  • complex phosphate means that no phosphate in the form of “free” P 2 O 5 is added to the mix, but instead other components such as Na 2 O, K 2 O, etc, are added not in oxidic or carbonate form but as phosphate, e.g. Al(PO 3 ) 3 , Ba(H 2 PO 4 ) 2 , Ca(H 2 PO 4 ) 2 , LiH 2 PO 4 , KPO 3 , NaPO 3 , to the mix.
  • phosphate is added as anionic component of a salt, with the corresponding cation component of this salt itself being a glass constituent.
  • Fluorine is preferably introduced into the glass in the form of fluorides such as AlF 3 , LiF, NaF, KF, MgF 2 , CaF 2 , SrF 2 .
  • the alkali metal oxides and alkaline earth metal oxides can also be introduced as carbonates.
  • the glass of the invention is melted from a uniform, previously well-mixed mix of the appropriate composition in a batch melting apparatus, e.g. Pt crucible, or continuous melting apparatus such as an AZS (Al 2 O 3 —ZrO 2 —SiO 2 ) tank, Pt tank or fused silica tank at temperatures of from 930 to 1100° C., then refined and homogenized.
  • a batch melting apparatus e.g. Pt crucible, or continuous melting apparatus
  • AZS Al 2 O 3 —ZrO 2 —SiO 2
  • Pt tank or fused silica tank at temperatures of from 930 to 1100° C.
  • the components present in the crucible or tank material can be introduced into the glass, i.e. after melting in a fused silica tank, up to 2% by weight of SiO 2 can be present in the glass, even if this has not explicitly been added.
  • the melting temperatures depend on the composition selected.
  • Oxygen is preferably bubbled through the glass to set the redox ratio in the melt. Bubbling should preferably be carried out for from 10 to 40 minutes or, in the case of a continuous melting process, continuously. This bubbling also serves to homogenize the melt. In addition to the above-described effects, bubbling also aids the formation of a degree of crosslinking according to the invention.
  • the refining of the glass is preferably carried out at from 950 to 1100° C.
  • the temperatures generally have to be kept low in order to keep the vaporization of the volatile components such as fluorine, Li 2 O and P 2 O 5 as low as possible.
  • the invention also provides for the use of glasses according to the invention as filter glasses, in particular IR cut glasses, the use of these glasses for protecting CCDs in cameras and the use of the glasses in NVis applications, for example for safety/aviation, night vision applications and the like.
  • a glass mix is intensively mixed. This mix is melted at 950° C. over a period of about 3 hours and oxygen is bubbled through the melt for about 30 minutes. Refining is likewise carried out at 950° C. because of the low viscosity. After standing for from about 15 to 30 minutes, the glass is cast at a temperature of about 940° C.
  • FIG. 1 shows the transmission spectrum of a glass according to the invention (Example 17) and demonstrates that these glasses have excellent filter properties. This is based on a thickness of the specimen of 0.1 mm.
  • the glasses have a Knoop hardness HK of from 350 to 450 and are thus readily processable and at the same time sufficiently scratch resistant.
  • the coefficients of expansion are in the range from 13 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 6 /K to 16 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 6 /K, measured for the temperature range from 20 to 300° C.
  • the glass transition temperatures of the glasses T g are from about 350 to 450° C.
